Eric Milles updated GROOVY-7136:
--------------------------------
Language: groovy
> allow trait implementing class access to private trait field
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-7136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7136
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 2.3.7, 2.4.0-beta-3
> Reporter: Jochen Theodorou
> Priority: Major
> Labels: trait, traits
> Fix For: 5.x
>
>
> Till now, if we have a private field foo in a Trait T, the class implementing
> the trait can unofficially access the field by this.T__a. This leaks the
> naming convention we use, and thus prevents us from changing it some time in
> the future.
> I suggest to use *T.this.a* to access a private field a in the trait T from
> the trait implementing class. This provide then an official way and allows
> for neat things as immutable traits for example (even if the state is fixed,
> we still may want one there and the handling of it).
